9.20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar had been the officer over them in time past; the LORD was with him.
We have quite a different picture of the priest in our modern culture (as wrong as our limp wristed angels). Phinehas, commanding officer (archbishop!), understood how to use the weapons of his warfare and knew how to kill the enemies of the Lord. Do we understand the militant calling on our lives as Kings and Priests. The New Testament is littered with military imagery. We have different weapons, but we are called to fight and to govern with more zeal than Phinehas.
